Trump Aides Cover Up for Idiocies of Our African Style Dictator

Although ancestor.com might not trace Donald Trump's DNA to the African continent, his first month in the oval office resembles any number of ruthless African dictators who've preyed upon their people, trampling democratic and human rights, arrogantly self-decorating, claiming huge victories for themselves, and, in Trump's case, granting himself labels like "least anti-semitic, least racist,  most presidential" and calling his chaotic regime a "fine-tuned machine."

Unfortunately, for the 45th president, we live in a world where spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks and tweets are republished, hasty executive orders monitored by the courts for constitutionality and inaccuracies and plain old lies seriously refuted by the news media.

Swedish Diplomat Carl Bildt on Trump:
"What's He Smoking?"

No need to repeat Trump's false claims and braggadocio here about the U.S. murder rate, Sweden, seizing Iraq's oil, N.A.T.O., etc.  Suffice to say, adults within the Trump administration have had to right the ship several times in the first month to keep it from capsizing.

HOMESCHOOLER COINS NEW WORD

As many know, my days now are occupied with homeschooling grandson Jack.  

The curriculum for the six year old includes the paperback "What is the Alamo?," my attempt to include Texas history, but also "Who Were Lewis and Clark?," Spectrum Science, Grade 3, Grammar, Grade 2, etc.  We're 65% through the grammar workbook in just over a month.

Today's science lesson was "What Makes A Good Scientist?"  The lesson emphasized curiosity, creativity, communication and persistence.

The final question was:  "In your opinion, what is another quality that good scientists need?  Why would they need that quality?"

Jack answered, using a word not in any dictionary:  "Focusation.  If you don't, you will waste time."
